(a) I. 9· The letter Ο is joined to the previous letter by a low curved stroke which may very well belong to Λ, P, or C. II. 3. The last letter may be 6. 4. The last letter had a vertical stroke; Υ, T, or N, e. g. would suit. 6. Above the C in the middle of the line as has been written in a minute and probably contemporary hand. Over this the missing syllable has been written a second time in larger letters by another hand, which is probably also responsible for the addition in 1. The insertion of λ in 8 and of χ in the margin opposite 15, and the addition of ο as a variant above the line in (d) 7 seem to be due to the first corrector. 11. The first letter is either € or C; the second is probably Τ or Y, but Ν or Π are also just possible. 15. The small χ in the margin may be the initial of the speaker's name, or the critical sign known as χΐ. ig. 6TTIA: the letter transcribed as € may equally well be 0. If the third letter is I, as is most probable, the fourth may be A, A, or Δ; but they could perhaps be read as a single letter, 0). 20. ΓίΙΟΤΕΡΟΝ : or TTPOT€PON. C at the end of the line is very doubtful; Ρ would suit the traces rather well. Fr. (6) 6. The doubtful Γ may be TT. 7, 8. These lyric verses, the ends of which are preserved, are shorter than the pre- ceding iambic lines by about four syllables. Fr. (<:) 1. The doubtful Π may be Γ. 5. 0 before the lacuna may be C. 6. A might perhaps be read as X. The suggested restorations in the following transcription are for the most part due to Professor Blass. Col. II. 1-20. Α. ύβριζόμζναι.
